But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out. He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts. Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (挑战的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand. 34.

Like most of the children, you may let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed（梦想）of flying into space or being a famous writer. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more realistic. Or you might have given up all your dreams. It’s important to have a dream because dreams can give us the energy to succeed in life. Dreams can inspire（激励）us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no pressure to finish them at once. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to reach. The important thing is that you’re always working for your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals（目标）. What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s said that dreams are the final destination（目的）; goals are the small stops along the way. Dreams can be very general. But the steps you take to reach them should be very clear. Your dreams mean what you want, but goals tell how you’ll get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in reaching your dreams. Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the importance of working for your dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes determination and hard work.” Writer Les Brown told us that dreams have no age limit, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your dream, and set your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true. 38. To reach your dream, what is the most important? A. To work for the dream. B. To make a great plan. C. To raise pressure. D. To dream a goal. 39. The underlined word “pressure” means “________”. A. 困难 B. 压力 C. 自信 D. 成功 40. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To tell people you are never too old to set another goal. B. To tell people a dream doesn’t become reality through magic. C. To show the importance of working for your dreams. D. To show some successful people’s ideas about dreams. 41. According to the article, which of the following is NOT true? A. Dreams are the small stops along your lifeway. B. You may take a lifetime to reach your dream. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. You can set some goals to reach your dream. 【答案】38. A 39. B 40. D 41. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要谈论了有关梦想的内容。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The important thing is that you’re always working for your dream.”可知，重要的是你要一直为你的梦想而努力。故选A。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Dreams can inspire（激励）us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no pressure to finish them at once. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to reach.”可知，梦想可以激励我们。梦想的伟大之处在于无压力下可以马上完成它们。可能需要几年时间，也可能需要一辈子才能实现。pressure表示“压力”。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段和“Many successful people have spoken about dreams.”可知，第四段的目的是展示一些成功人士对梦想的想法。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ goals are the small stops along the way.”可知，A选项“梦想是你人生路上的小停留”错误。故选A。 D IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART? Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 42. What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A. Walking and talking are very difficult. B. It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C. People are born with abilities to learn. D. Babies need to face many tasks every day. 43. Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A. Being happy with his own growth. B. Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C. Avoiding showing how smart he is. D. Being afraid of facing different failures. 44. What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A. She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B. She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C. She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D. She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 45. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. Be a good learner in babyhood. B. Stay active when facing difficulties. C. Show the importance of success. D. Make decisions and choices carefully. 【答案】42. C 43. D 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文关于成功意味着学习——还是证明你很聪明的这一话题进行了讨论。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn.”可知，作者想通过这个例子来说明人天生就有学习的能力。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart”什么可以终结这种学习方式？固定的思维模式。一旦孩子们能够自我评价，他们中的一些人就会害怕困难的任务。他们害怕自己不够聪明。可知，选项D“害怕面对不同的失败”属于固定的思维模式。故选D。 【44题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said.”“具有成长型思维模式的孩子（他们相信通过学习可以变得更聪明）认为这是一个奇怪的选择。你为什么要问我这个问题？为什么有人想一遍又一遍地重复做同样的任务？他们选择了一个又一个难题。“我快要解开它们了！”一个小女孩说。可知，女孩这样说表明她迫不及待地想给自己一个练习的任务。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability”我认为聪明是需要你努力才能做到的……聪明不是天生的……大多数孩子如果不确定答案，就不会举手回答问题。但我通常会举手，因为如果我错了，我的错误就会被纠正。只要这样做，我就在提高自己的能力。可知作者写这篇文章是为了告诉我们面对困难时要保持积极主动。故选B。 五．信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分, 满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并把答案涂在答题卡相应位置。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all have two ears but only one mouth.

He composed twenty-four short ____61____ (piece) for the piano called preludes. The ___62___ (long) one, Prelude No.15, is better known by its nickname, the “Raindrop” Prelude. How did it get its nickname? One day in 1838, when Chopin’s lover George Sand went out in a rainstorm, Chopin became ____63____ (worry). While he was waiting for Sand, he wrote Prelude No.15. When Sand came back, Chopin played ____64____ (she) the music. Sand thought the notes sounded like raindrops. She let Chopin ____65____ (listen) to the raindrops falling on the roof. This made Chopin ____66____ (happy). He insisted that he never ____67____ (pay) attention to those sounds or copied them. However, like Sand, many people hear raindrops in this prelude.

Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination(目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun. On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service. It’s inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong(麻将) room. This luxury(高档的) service is one aspect that has attracted travelers. But train travel interests people for other reasons. In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery outside. One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world—the Trans-Siberian Railway in the world. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.” 81.

This train provides panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks for passengers. 84. One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. 85. Yes, I do. Because I also want to experience this comfortable travel. 【解析】 【分析】文章介绍了中国首列熊猫主题旅游列车的情况介绍以及人们对这列火车的看法。 【81题详解】 根据“On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou.”可知，3月28日，中国首列熊猫主题旅游列车从四川成都开往贵州遵义。故填On March 28th。 【82题详解】 根据“It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service.”可知，它以其独特的设计和舒适的服务很快成为中国的热门话题。故填Because it had special design and comfortable service. 【83题详解】 根据“Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks.”可知，这列火车上可以品尝熊猫形状的食物和四川小吃。故填This train provides panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks for passengers. 【84题详解】 根据“One surprising thing is that you might meet new people.”可知，乘火车旅行令人惊讶的事是，你可能会遇到新的人。故填One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. 【85题详解】 是的，我想乘坐熊猫主题旅游列车旅行，因为我也想体验这种舒适的旅行，故填Yes, I do.

B Gordon Williams’s hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles. Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a show of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the show was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out. He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next, he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts. Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging (挑战的), as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand. 34. What do people think of Gordon’s hobby when people first meet it? A. Unusual. B. Useful. C. Interesting. D. Traditional. 35. For Gordon, the most difficult step that he wanted to learn was ________. A. to shape the bottle like a ship B. to paint the layer of putty like the sea C. to get the ship through the neck of the bottle D. to put the layer of putty into the bottle 36. Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon’s work? A. B. C. D. 37. Gordon’s new plan is more challenging because he will ________. A. make an aircraft carrier B. build more than one hundred ships C. put a bigger model ship inside the bottle D. build a bigger model ship inside the bottle C As a small kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Like most of the children, you may let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed（梦想）of flying into space or being a famous writer. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more realistic. Or you might have given up all your dreams. It’s important to have a dream because dreams can give us the energy to succeed in life. Dreams can inspire（激励）us. The great thing about dreams is that there’s no pressure to finish them at once. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to reach. The important thing is that you’re always working for your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals（目标）. What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s said that dreams are the final destination（目的）; goals are the small stops along the way. Dreams can be very general. But the steps you take to reach them should be very clear. Your dreams mean what you want, but goals tell how you’ll get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in reaching your dreams. Many successful people have spoken about dreams. Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell stressed the importance of working for your dreams. “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes determination and hard work.” Writer Les Brown told us that dreams have no age limit, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your dream, and set your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to making your dreams come true. 38. To reach your dream, what is the most important? A. To work for the dream. B. To make a great plan. C. To raise pressure. D. To dream a goal. 39. The underlined word “pressure” means “________”. A. 困难 B. 压力 C. 自信 D. 成功 40. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 4? A. To tell people you are never too old to set another goal. B. To tell people a dream doesn’t become reality through magic. C. To show the importance of working for your dreams. D. To show some successful people’s ideas about dreams. 41. According to the article, which of the following is NOT true? A Dreams are the small stops along your lifeway. B. You may take a lifetime to reach your dream. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. You can set some goals to reach your dream. D IS SUCCESS ABOUT LEARNING—OR SHOWING YOU’RE SMART? Benjamin once said, “I don’t divide (分) the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures. I divide the world into the learners and nonlearners.” What would make someone a nonlearner? Everyone is born with an intense drive (驱动力) to learn. Babies practise their skills daily, even the most difficult tasks of a lifetime, like learning to walk and talk. They never think it’s too hard. Babies don’t worry about making mistakes. They walk, they fall and they get up. They just move forward. What could put an end to this kind of learning? The fixed mindset (固定的思维模式). As soon as children become able to evaluate(评价) themselves, some of them become afraid of hard tasks. They become afraid of not being smart. I have studied thousands of students, and you can’t believe how many people refuse a chance to learn. We offered four-year-olds a choice (选择): They could red o an easy task or they could try a harder one. Even at this age, children with the fixed mindset—stuck with the safe one. Children with the growth mindset—the ones who believed you could get smarter by learning—thought it was a strange choice. Why are you asking me this? Why would anyone want to keep doing the same task over and over? They chose one hard one after another. “I’m dying to solve them!” one little girl said. So children with the fixed mindset want to make sure they are successful. Smart people should always be successful. But for children with the growth mindset, success is about practising themselves. It’s about learning to become smarter. One seventh-grade girl made a conclusion.“I think being smart is something you have to work for…it isn’t just given to you… Most kids, if they’re not sure of an answer, will not raise their hand to answer the question. But what I usually do is to raise my hand, because if I’m wrong, then my mistake will be corrected. Just by doing that I’m improving my ability.” 42. What does the writer want to tell by using the example of babies in Paragraph 2? A. Walking and talking are very difficult. B. It’s easy for babies to learn different skills. C. People are born with abilities to learn. D. Babies need to face many tasks every day. 43. Which of the following is a fixed mindset according to the passage? A. Being happy with his own growth. B. Working hard and being thirsty to learn. C. Avoiding showing how smart he is. D. Being afraid of facing different failures. 44 What does the girl mean by saying “I’m dying to solve them!”? A. She can’t wait to give herself a task to practise. B. She thinks a healthy body can help learn better. C. She believes it’s painful to solve the problems. D. She doesn’t find it difficult to finish these tasks. 45. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. Be a good learner in babyhood. B. Stay active when facing difficulties. C Show the importance of success. D. Make decisions and choices carefully. 五．信息还原（共5小题：每小题1分, 满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并把答案涂在答题卡相应位置。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all have two ears but only one mouth.

Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination(目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun. On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service. It’s inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants(乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong(麻将) room. This luxury(高档的) service is one aspect that has attracted travelers. But train travel interests people for other reasons. In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery outside. One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world—the Trans-Siberian Railway in the world. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds(瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.” 81.
